The lines in this book I would get straight up tattooed on me. Cyran’s writing is unlike any other. The depth and range that goes into utterly unhinged, depraved smut is unmatched. I’m in love with these characters and every tiny snippet of this world that we can get. If you want taboo, dark, hotness that will make you have you wondering why you don’t have any morals. This is the universe for you.

i didn’t enjoy this book much. i cringed every time they called each other “brother/sister”. i think i wanted to see them in a more informal and domestic atmosphere without stress and danger. the whole book they were fighting for their lives trying to escape this torture chamber for amusement of rich people.
also wasn’t a fan of flesh eating.

“Almost disconnected from my body by the overload of lust and terror, I watched Elias’ teeth sink into my upper arm, tearing away a piece of my flesh. Blood flowed from the wound and over his lips. His eyes closed as he chewed, his jaw moving slowly as if he savored every second.”

oh my gosh, i dont i will ever be disappointed in a book from Cyran!! if you want a dark, little taboo, and hot romance, this book is exactly what you're looking for!!
i love the world build and the feelings put into this book. Cyran finds a way to tug at my emotions in the most amazing way!!
This is by far my favorite quote from this book:
“Pain is the most intimate form of worship, and I will make you suffer so wonderfully, your torment would make even the Creators weep with joy.”

Dark and deliciously depraved
This was an absolutely wild ride from start to finish. **Please check the TWs before jumping in**
If you like it dark, taboo, dirty, and don't mind a bit of g0re, then this is it. Myna, Eli and Cyn are reunited only to face their biggest battles to fight their way out of this hellscape level by level.
Despite the brutality of this story, the emotions are deep and plentiful. Their love and passion for each other only feeling their perseverance.
I plan on devouring the rest of the books in this series because they hit that dark little corner of my heart that can't get enough.

Stars: 4.5
FMC: Myna (Mynarin)
MMC(s): Cyn (Cynthian), Eli (Elias)
Tropes: Pitch Black, MMF, Step sibling, Villain romance, untouched heroine, demon brothers, death game
> Reviewer add: Slightly monstrous, blood magic, ritual scarification/branding
Perspective: First, through Myna
Plot or character driven: Both
Spicy scenes breakdown:
> Present? Yes
> Detailed? Yes
> Multiple, with only one character? No
> Multiple, with both/multiple characters? Yes
> Personal favorite? Chapter 13.
> State of the joystick? Eli: with ridges, bumps, upsized with a self-lubricating action. Cyn: Ridged, upsized, with black veins
Burn speed: Fast
Can this be read as a stand-alone: Yes.
Re-Readability: High.
Content/Trigger Warnings/Enticements: Lengthy. Check the front of the book.
I received an advanced reader copy of this book, and this is my voluntary, honest review.
“Your screams sound so damn good. And your blood, little prey... it drives me mad. Sweeter than honey and richer than wine.”
Myna, Cyn, and Eli are the three orphans. Escaping their horrible “caretakers” they become the Three Orphans, out to challenge the status quo. They end up in a Dante-esque hell based on the stages of grief (hence the name) and must escape so they can challenge the crime lord that rules the city.
The challenge is bloody, gory, and it’s part horror and part tender story. Sometimes demons gotta be demonic, and yet they have a bond to a very human woman, and they express that bond in multiple ways while not betraying the truth of their natures.
Monster lovers will find this story pitch black, while darklings will find it more dark grey, I think. There’s not a complete loss of morality, but the boys morality is different, and Myna adapts to them. I enjoyed the hell out of this, and I’m glad my first book by this author was this one.
It won’t be the last one.

I will always read ANYTHING Cyran writes simply because balance is Cyrans superpower and dark romance is their dominion. Their ability to immerse you so deep into a fictional world you feel it is unmatched. Their writing and phrasing is simply fantastic and never disappoints.
This dark, taboo romance between a strong mortal FMC and her two morally black, villainous step brothers is quite the gore filled story. How one can tell a story filled with gore, terror and romance while still character and world building is remarkable. After 8 years apart these chosen siblings are reunited, yet trapped in the House of Grief. They must band together to become free of the demonic bond upon the brothers; a demonic bond with a feral need to be satiated.
*as with any Cyran Faringray, read the trigger warnings first!*

OMFG THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD.
like HOLY SHIT, honestly I was expecting blood and craziness but not a teeny tiny bit of flesh-eating (romantically) nor was I expecting this book to be so romantic and an unhinged kind of cute, I loved it though, THE ROMANCE WAS ROMANCING AND DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THE SPICE 🥵🥵🥵🤭🤭

What a world Cyran has created! These are not morally grey characters; there is no morals. So if you like a villain who is obsessed with your tears and blood, this may be the book for you!
Eli, Cyn and Myna met as children in an orphanage and claimed eachother as siblings but that relationship grows and blooms into so much more
